The Last Valley: A Himalayan Wolf Story
c. 40 min · Nepal · in post-production
In Nepal’s remote Limi Valley, two scientists go looking for the elusive Himalayan wolf in a landscape thought to be untouched. Alongside the herders who share the land with wolves and snow leopards, they find a valley already changing. It’s a film about the last wild places, and how quickly “last” arrives.
